suicides and educators; a qualitative study

Discuss all the search parameters, including
the search terms and their combinations (with more detailed search terms
located in an appendix, if appropriate), range of years,
and types of literature.
Devote approximately 30 to 60 pages to
this chapter to include citations to at least 50 relevant sources.
Describe the guiding theoretical/conceptual
framework of the study, including the definitions of all the concepts, an
explanation of the relationships among the concepts, and a presentation of all
the assumptions and propositions.
Explain the
origin and development of the framework. Demonstrate detailed knowledge of and
familiarity with both the historical and the current literature on the
framework.
Identify
existing research studies that used this framework in a similar way. Mention
alternative frameworks, with a justification of why the selected framework was
chosen.
Describe how and why
the selected framework relates to the present study and how it guided the
development of the problem statement, purpose statement, and research
questions.
Critically analyze (i.e., note the strengths
and weaknesses) and synthesize (i.e., integrate) the existing research. Rather
than reporting on each study independently, describe everything known on the
topic by reviewing the entire body of work.
Present
a balanced integrative critical review of the literature, ensuring all points
of view are included. Cover all the important issues with a discussion of areas
of convergence (i.e., agreement) and divergence (i.e., disagreement). Provide
potential explanations for areas of divergence.
Summary
Checklist:
Briefly restate the key points
discussed in the chapter. Review the headings and/or table of contents to
ensure all key points are covered. Highlight areas of
convergence and divergence as well as gaps in the literature that support the
need for the study. This discussion should logically lead to Chapter 3, where
the research methodology and design will be discussed
[Tip: In
essence, the summary is the take-home message of the integrative critical
review of the literature with a specific emphasis on how the literature
supports the need for your study.
